Heat Vision breakdown
Paul Feig is directing Ghostbusters 3, which is currently shooting and is based on a script he wrote with his collaborator on The Heat, Kate Dippold. Melissa McCarthy, a three-time SNL host, stars in the film that Sony will release July 22, 2016.
Feig and Casey already have a working relationship. Casey currently stars in Feig’s Yahoo original series Other Space.
With Ghostbusters, Casey won't be the only actor getting screen time. Chris Hemsworth will play a sidekick role to the female band of paranormal house cleaners.
Casey is a familiar face on cable comedy circuit, having appeared on Veep, Broad City and Inside Amy Schumer.
He is repped by UTA, Mosaic and attorney Dan Fox.
